On May 21, Abu Dhabi hosted another show fight of former world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the five weight categories (talking about boxing). Invincible American met another veteran, Don Moore. Their duel lasted eight rounds of two minutes each. The organizers did not initially plan to announce the winner.
Mayweather is believed to have ended his career with a victory over Andre Berto in 2015. It was another defense of Floyd’s two heavyweight titles. So the great American’s record began to consist of 49 victories in 49 fights, and with these numbers he retired. In 2017, Mayweather returned from retirement for an incredibly exciting crossover with Conor McGregor. This fight was approved as a professional boxing fight, so Floyd’s 50th victory entered the record.
After his retirement the martial theme obviously went to Mayweather and he continued to develop it. True, from now on, seemingly random people who did not always have a direct relationship with boxing became competitors. But these fights, notable, were only exhibited in nature and were not counted. Mayweather defeated Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Natsukawa in 2018. And last year, Floyd had a surprisingly difficult relationship with blogger Logan Paul.
Now Mayweather’s rival is Don Moore. He is also a former boxer. He is now 42 (Floyd, recall, 45) and has been retired since 2016. He managed 18 pro-fights during his career and won them all. Moore mostly fought in the featherweight division. But all this is not as interesting as another detail from his biography. To wear. The truth is, Floyd’s uncle, who died two years ago, worked for a long time with coach Roger Mayweather. Also, Moore had a lot to work with with Floyd as his sparring partner. Mayweather Jr. Recalling his experience working with the big champion, Moore claimed that he was able to create problems for the great champion.
In face-to-face encounters, Don also aimed to compete with Floyd, but it didn’t turn out very well. The fight went the whole distance, and over the course of its course, Mayweather confidently took episode after episode, and at one point even managed to knock out the opponent. Floyd’s victory was still not counted, but he was not very upset: another fat check was going with him for the USA, and it seems that there is an option with a new fight in a similar format.
